Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1/4 --
In this pointless remake, essaying the Judy Holliday Oscar-winning role, Melanie Griffith gives a poor performance, marked by monotonous delivery and tiresome semi-spunky routines.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Where Holliday was always too sophisticated a butterfly right from the off, Griffith's copycat performance starts dumb -- but then never takes wing.

Rating: 3/5 --
Not so much bad as thoroughly pointless.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Griffith almost makes it watchable. She is as charismatic a camera presence as ever, but her magic is mostly muted in this flat retread.

TV Guide
The gin rummy game with Griffith and Goodman instead of Holliday and Crawford is enough to ruin a night out.

Chicago Reader
...BORN YESTERDAY arrives with a credible modern resonance....Griffith provides her own credible spin on Billie Dawn....The film also gives Johnson his best role in a long time...
Variety
If the great American public makes the right choice, Born Yesterday will be dead tomorrow.

Product Description:
After arriving in Washington D.C. and being embarrassed by a few awkward social situations, a millionaire hires a journalist to help polish his Las Vegas show-girl wife's manners and diction. Surprising everyone, she develops a mind (and opinions) of her own. A remake of the 1950 comedy.
